The hotel is located away from the settlements, on the seashore. Google map coordinates - 34.974802, 34.040531. For some, this remoteness may be a disadvantage, but for us it was a solid plus. The road to the nearest town (Ai-Napa) was about five minutes by regular bus, costing 1 euro one way per person. For 2 euros you can buy a day pass. An alternative is a well-maintained and paved path along the sea. The stroller will go through it easily. Travel time at an average pace is about 40 minutes. If you have time, I would recommend this trail for walking.
The hotel is chamber, accommodation - in small houses (bungalows) with one or two rooms, with one or two bathrooms (respectively, more expensive). The sea of greenery, everything is buried in flowers. In general, the flora of Cyprus is Spartan, apparently due to the lack of water. But where people live - everything is in flowers and greenery.
For me, the most important thing in the hotel was the beach. They say that all the beaches in Cyprus are municipal.
But I didn’t see anyone except the hotel guests on our beach. Both on the shore and in the sea, mostly sand. True, the entrance to the sea is relatively narrow, but since there are few guests, there is enough space for everyone. The location of sun loungers can be conditionally divided into three groups: near the pool (for lovers), near the water (in the sun) and at a small distance among the greenery (respectively, in the shade). There was no shortage of free sunbeds.
I won’t write anything about the pool - traveling thousands of kilometers to lie and splash in the pool is a frank perversion, as for me.
The sea in the beach area is shallow, in order to find the depth, you need to go 50 meters. Well, then the depth in some places is more than 10 m. In general, in the area of Ai-Napa (and indeed Cyprus) the coast is steep, there are not many convenient slopes.
Kermia Beach is a paradise for children of all ages. The sea is shallow, warm, the descent into the sea is sandy. You can splash in shallow water, you can build fortresses out of sand.
You can find another activity from the children's range.
The water in the sea is salty - The Mediterranean Sea is only slightly less salty than the Red Sea, so it is better to have goggles. After a while, the eyes adapt, but still a slight discomfort remains. However, the people managed mostly without glasses.
The population of the underwater world is much inferior to the Red Sea, and even, in part, to the wild places of the Black Sea. Of the relatively large shell-bearing molluscs, I found only gastropods Strombus decorus decorus and Hexaplex (Trunculariopsis) trunculus (although the valves of someone eaten were lying around in places). But these were full. In addition, once I met an octopus, once I saw a starfish of an unknown (to me) nationality, once I saw a small moray eel. The Kermia area is full of sea urchins. However, they need to be looked for specifically; they do not cause problems for swimmers. There are also two types of large marine worms. And, of course, fish - but also not very much.
An attempt to dive in a place wilder than the hotel beach did not lead to the discovery of other fauna. Well, I didn't dive at night. And they say that off the coast of Cyprus you can find 13 species of some cyprae (cypraea).
The food at the hotel is tasty, varied and plentiful, able to satisfy every taste. They are fed according to the "buffet" system. We took a half board package with breakfast and dinner. In my opinion, taking a ticket with three meals a day to this hotel is unnecessary, two times is enough. If you are without a child, then only breakfast will be more preferable, you can have dinner in Ai-Napa - there are a lot of different kinds of restaurants and cafes. It is unlikely that such food will come out more expensive, especially since we (3 adults), which are traditionally not included in the cost of lunch and dinner in hotels, spent more than 100 euros in 9 days. A small glass of juice costs 3 euros, in fact it is the cheapest drink. A glass of wine will cost 3.5 euros, a glass of beer (0.5 l) - 4.5 euros.
For breakfast (drinks are free), you can choose from tea or coffee (with milk) and juices. Juices, it should be noted, are very tasty and, apparently, of high quality.
You can find what to feed a child at the age of 1.9 years in the proposed menu. At the same time, there is no specialized children's food (like milk porridge). Therefore, we were greatly rescued in advance by the fast-cooking cereals and children's canned meat brought in advance. For breakfast, a child can take thick yogurt, an egg in different forms (if the child eats them) and fruits. For dinner - mashed potatoes (not every day) or baked potatoes, rice porridge. Both mashed potatoes and porridge may contain non-sharp spices. Soup is also offered for dinner (for my taste it is very tasty), but it is not always suitable for a child - it can be spicy. And again, fruit.
Fruits, by the way, were of high quality. The green-looking oranges were actually ripe and sweet.
Oranges, apples, melon (quite edible) and grapes were constantly offered. In addition, nectarines, pears, bananas were often present. Once (on the last day) we were treated to figs.
The hotel staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to help. Once, the receptionist on duty helped us out a lot: my wife forgot her bag on the municipal bus. The hotel employee contacted the route administrator at the terminal, described the problem, found out where our loss was. Then she instructed us where to go and what to do in order to return the loss.
The hotel staff, like, apparently, all Cypriots, speak Greek and English. Many inhabitants of the island learn Russian. But still, it is better to know English, at least at the school level. It makes life easier.
The hotel rooms have kitchens with equipment (microwave, kettle, refrigerator, dishes). All this is included in the price of the room.
The key card for the safe is provided on a deposit (10 euros). The same goes for beach towels. By the way, it is better to hand over towels in advance, because the laundry, where they are issued and, accordingly, accepted, does not work around the clock. The hotel does not provide adapters for electrical outlets, you need to buy it yourself.
For children on site there is a playground - swings, slides, turntables. There is a children's club with a polyglot teacher. The Russian language is on her list.
